July Talk

At the danger of angering many of you who have similar musical tastes as me, I have to admit it;  I've never been a huge fan of Tom Waits. I initially can handle the angry raspiness, but it wears on me and I quickly grow tired. So you might be asking yourself: "How can he like July Talk if he doesn't like Waits?" Well, I have an answer for you. If TW had a talented, indie female vocalist accompanying him on every song, I think think I'd change my feelings. Hopefully this helps explain this crazy band out of Toronto July Talk.

Paper Girl


Guns & Ammunition


Let Her Know

Vinyl Pizza - Sunny Afternoon

The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon

Typhoon - White Lighter

I've been hearing the name of the band Typhoon for a little while (SXSW, NPR, KEXP, etc.) but I've never really given them a chance. 

Over the last 2 days, I've listened to their new album White Lighter 4 or 5 times and I've become pretty enthralled. Once again, a band that initially comes off a little rough on the ears, but slowly becomes an obsession the more you listen (The National, Alt-j, etc.). Kind of like IPAs on the pallet.
